The Ronin-S Jr. The DJI Ronin-SC looks like a that is still growing but does add helpful features like pan/tilt control via smartphones, axis locks, and ActiveTrack subject tracking. The smaller size benefits travel and discreetness but also limits the payload to 4.4 pounds.

Designed for Compact Mirrorless Cameras. The DJI Ronin-SC 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer is a lightweight and compact gimbal that DJI has designed for single-handed stabilization of compact mirrorless cameras. The gimbal is capable of supporting up to 4.4 pounds of equipment.

Offset Roll Motor. The same offset gimbal design found on the Ronin-S keeps the roll motor positioned below a camera’s integrated monitor and helps reduce weight by reducing the necessity for external monitoring.

Great Battery Life. The Ronin-SC can stabilize a camera for up to 11 hours with a single charge of its built-in battery. Keep in mind that battery life will vary based on the weight and balance of the attached camera and lens.

Accessory Support. The Ronin-SC has USB Type-C connector on the camera platform communicating with cameras and powering compatible accessories like the optional focus motor. 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threaded holes on the bottom of the grip allow for attaching accessories. The camera platform uses a quick release plate with spacing lock to enable simplified balancing, setup and breakdown.

ActiveTrack and Force Mobile. If you’ve used DJI drones with subject tracking, you’ll be familiar with the ActiveTrack 3.0 system that has been added to the Ronin SC. Select your subject in the Ronin app, and the gimbal automatically tracks their movement. The Force Mobile feature lets users control the gimbal with your mobile device’s accelerometer for more natural movement.

The Ronin-SC is like the little brother to the Ronin-S. It’s great for small gimbal builds consisting of small mirrorless cameras and short lenses, but not much else. Medium sized lenses, like Sony’s 24-70mm or likely any combination involving a lens adapter, should not work and we will not recommend or encourage anyone to use the Ronin-SC for such setups. For the widest ranges of DSLR/mirrorless camera and lens compatibility, I would just go straight to the full size Ronin-S.
